《Dao of Emperor》World building info

Hi folks, thanks for your commands. Today I have finally sorted out all the things I have written until now and written this list about cultivation in the series. To be honest it really is better this way as until now I have always only written with the information in my mind.
Qi Culitvators (normal cultivators):
Demons or Humans that absorb qi using special techniques and can archive immortality and great powers through them.
Stages:
1. Bodystage Any Person living in a area with dense qi concentration will eventually reach this stage. Effects are slightly improved physical body.
2. Gathererstage After starting to absorb qi you are in the gatherer stage. You get a small boost in lifespan (can get 150 years old) and simple techniques with low qi consumption can be used.
3. Compressionstage After enough qi was absorbed the cultivator starts to compress the qi. A further increase of lifespan to 200 years and easy hand seal can be used to form attacks out of qi.
4. Foundationstage The compressed qi in becoming a liquid. The more liquid you have the better is your foundation and the stronger you will become in the later cultivation stages. Most troops of bigger clans and family's are on this level. Increase of lifespan to 500 years. Cable of using normal hand seals and erecting barriers to block attacks on their body.
5. Corestage The liquid qi is further compressed until it form a solid core. The more q liquid you have in the foundationstage the bigger and firmer is the core. Cultivators on this level can easily reach a age of a thousand years. Experts on this level can use almost all techniques and barriers from easy to hard.
6. Nascendstage The core changes into something illusionary and becomes semi existent. After reaching this level there is no limit to the age and the chances to die a natural death are almost null. Nascendstage experts are considered true experts and have great status all around the world. They are still using techniques but their effects are much greater then before.

7. Immortalstage In this stage the cultivator starts to actively comprehend the dao's and seek comprehension. They are using daos and dao essences to fight each other.
8. Deitystage Deities have comprehended a whole dao and become able to freely use it's dao essences and the dao itself to fight.
9. Deity exceeding stage They have comprehended all daos there are and amassed a great amount of qi. Because of their comprehension they are able to use to use the true daos in the surrounding to attack their enemies. After reaching a certain point they undergo heavenly tribulation and can archive ascension.
Daos:
Dao are natural laws based on qi. Cultivators use them to form matter out of qi and fight with them. Litteraly all techniques in the cultivation world are based on one or multiple daos. Dao's are splitten into three main grades being:
Earth grade
Heaven grade
Dragon grade
Creation grade
Also every grade is differencing between low, mid and high grade. Earth grade daos are the weakest daos and often only represent parts of a heaven or dragon grade dao. After the earth dao there is the heaven grade dao being a bit better and the dragon grade daos. Dragon grade daos are considered the pinnacle daos in the cultivation world, but in truth there are the creation grade dao.
Creationstage daos are daos that are composed of multiple daos and have a certain principal behind them that impacts the world itself. Because of this they are the strongest daos but also the hardest to comprehend.
Other then this differentiation there is a difference between the daos cultivators use and the ones that are in the nature surrounding them. The ones the cultivators comprehend all have a part of the cultivator inside of them making them impure. The natural daos also called true daos are completely pure and are mightier then the impure ones.
This is also why deity exceeding beings are so much more powerful then deities. After all they are using the pure true daos while the deities are using the impure daos they comprehended.

Techniques:
Techniques are ways to use qi without actually comprehending any dao. They are based on one or multiple daos and allow the user to borrow the might of the daos. They can be seen as catalysts. The cultivator only channels his qi into the technique and it automatically forms the qi into the desired form.
Magical treasures:
Are treasures like the interspaces ring that allow a person to store things or attack others. They are like techniques being based on daos. The only difference is that the user doesn't have to learn the technique, as long as he has enough qi everyone can use the treasure.
Formations:
Formations are similar to techniques, they to rely on daos to form the qi, but in opposite to techniques a formation master has much more possibilities compared to a normal cultivator as they can freely adjust their formations. A prerequisite to become a formation master was a great comprehension and a good mind. They have to calculate the effects of a formation in under a minute and know how to assemble it.
Also there are many different kinds of formations, there were ones carved on stones or other materials, there were some laid out of different materials and also some purely made of energy. The first one is actually often seen as a magical treasure as also anyone could use it, while the second method was the most common. As for the third, there were only few cable to do so as one needed a great control over the used energy and it was harder then carving or using precious materials. but despite it's difficulty the last method of using energy was the quickest and also most effective way of making formations. In fact anyone cable of doing so would have the status of a formation master.
Illis:
Illis are cultivators of the soul, they do not absorb qi, but divine soul energy to cultivate their soul realm. Afterwards they can use their soul realms to use attack techniques and formations to fight or construct. The biggest draw back on the Illis way of cultivation was the fact that only reaching a certain stage one would get a prolonged life span and reaching this stage was much more harder then cultivating qi. The stages of Illis cultivation are splitten into.
1 Soul forming stage (low level attack techniques and formations)
2. Soul tempering (Use your soul realm to destroy the others soul or move rubble or threes to fight. Also attack techniques and low level formations.)
3. Soul concentrating stage ( Stronger formations and mid level attack techniques. Also Soul attacks.)
4. Soul liquid stage (Soul realm becomes liquid form.)
5. Soul sea stage (Equivalent to the nascent stage)
6. Soul world stage
7. Soul heavens stage (Fighting power equivalent to a deity exceeding expert)
Attack techniques:
The same as normal techniques only using divine soul energy instead of qi.
Cultivation treasures:
Plants that are able of absorbing energies. They can boost the speed or the stage of the cultivation and are precious things to every cultivator. There are cultivation treasures for qi cultivators and Illis. They are splitting into four grades:
1.Earth grade Increase of cultivation speed
2. Heaven grade Huge increase of cultivation speed or even half of a cultivation stage
3. Primal grade (Directly lifting cultivation by a stage. Have the lineage of primordial grade cultivation treasures. can only be consumed once.)
4. Primordial grade (Highest grade of cultivation treasures, have legendary effects. Can even bring a Illis from soul world stage to soul heaven stage)
Cultivation treasures a quite rare as they can not be easily grown and are rarely found.
